The problem is that every single claim is complex... many of the Biblical claims would require an actual scholar or historian to do justice to.

But these movies shoot off these things rapid fire one after the other, not really caring if any of them actually has any merit.. they build a whole set of beliefs through these rapid fire claims presented in a specific way.

By that time the viewer has bought in. So if someone comes along and presents contrary evidence (like the chemtrail barium thing), it doesn't matter because the idea is now in place and that's the "Truth", knocking out a supporting pillar doesn't affect it anymore (this is called confirmation bias).

Do yourself a favor and take a break from infowars and read The Demon-Haunted World by Sagan. It will give you the tools to see the logical fallacies and rocky foundation so much of the stuff they and others like them present.

Then you might start being as skeptical of their claims as you are of government's claims..
